Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 232 Cotswold Crescent, with particular regard to noise and disturbance from the access road and parking areas

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 232 Cotswold Crescent through noise and disturbance from the proximity of the access road and parking areas, which could not be adequately mitigated.

The benefits of redevelopment of previously developed land, contribution to housing supply, and provision of smaller units suitable for an ageing population did not outweigh the significant harm to the living conditions of existing residents.
